“You’re speaking nonsense!”
Estella got up from the floor and furiously pushed the kid who had last spoke.
Amused at her courage to fight back, the other kids began running their mouths off even more.

“Did I say anything wrong? You’re just a mute! If we hadn’t played with you today, would you have spoken on your
own? Adults hate kids who can’t speak, Little Mute!” After saying that, the girl raised her arm in fury and yelled,

Having been triggered by the children’s words earlier, Estella wrapped her arm around Roxanne’s neck and choked
